2 Fig 1 Bilateral microwave Maze lesion set pattern in 29 patients. FLEX 4 Probe (AFx-Guidant, Santa Clara, CA) was used in 27 patients, and the FLEX 10 Probe was used in 2 patients. The ligament of Marshall was divided and cauterized. The left atrial appendage was excised. The procedure was performed on-pump in 16 patients and off-pump in 13 patients.
